That's interesting. I have to confess that I wasn't aware that Power's had been rehired. She'd appeared on a number of BBC news programmes during her initial spell with Obama and, like you, I was mightily impressed with her. Certainly if he's able to keep people like her on board and hopefully elevate her over a period of time, that would definitely suggest to me that things were moving in the right direction. But that doesn't change the fact that, for me, while he's clearly up to the job intellectually, I still have to wonder about he has the stomach for a fight with the political Establishment. And I'm not talking about a fight based merely on gesture, or for the sake of it, but one in response to circumstances where, as is currently the case with the economic crisis, it really is necessary.
